Panasonic, a leading provider of business telephone systems1,
today announced the new KX-NS1000, an advanced IP Business
Telecommunications Server that is suited for a wide range of business
customers. The new IP business telecommunications platform integrates
with existing communication infrastructures to offer users a highly
flexible, cost-effective solution capable of scaling and adapting to
meet the changing needs of today’s fast-paced business environment.

With the announcement of the KX-NS1000, Panasonic also introduced a new
series of IP and digital telephones to compliment the full suite of
connection options. The new KX-NT550 series achieves high-definition
sound and supports the full range of business telephone system features.
The new KX-DT500 series of digital telephones delivers significant
improvements in voice quality.

Maximize Internet Telephony Communication

Because the KX-NS1000 is a pure IP-based communications system, it
maximizes the advantages associated with Internet telephony
communication, helping to lower overall communications costs and
offering a high return on investment with its grow-as-you-go
capabilities. Advanced features include support for new high-definition
voice quality telephones and seamless integration with desktop
applications for Unified Communications, Presence, Chat Over
Communications Assistant and third-party applications such as Commsoft
or Poltys.

Ideal for Multi-site Environments

A variety of teleconferencing and call routing functions make working at
or away from the office more efficient. Call grouping and call routing
features ensure that all calls are routed to the appropriate person
regardless of their location; headquarters, branch or home office. In
addition, because the KX-NS1000 integrates smart phones and tablets with
the business communications network, customers are no longer required to
have multiple contact numbers for users who also have a cell phone,
allowing mobile phones to be used just like office extensions.

The KX-NS1000 Business Communication Server also integrates with
Panasonic’s full line of IP and SIP-based desktop phones as well as our
business DECT handsets, which allows calls to desk extension phones to
be transferred to wireless handsets and vice versa, enabling workers to
be mobile and yet stay in touch with customers and other staff in
multi-site locations such as campuses, hospitals, warehouses and more.
With the Multi-Cell DECT wireless system, customers can choose from a
variety of wireless solutions that deliver a high quality, secure signal
and a choice of handsets including rugged and compact options.

Flexibility to Integrate With Existing Infrastructure and Grow

“The rich feature set of our new IP Business Telecommunications server
makes it a great choice for small offices with a few dozen users, but
can easily scale to support larger enterprises with multiple locations
and more than 1000 users,” said Kim Murtagh, Product Manager for
Panasonic Business Telephone Systems. “Its One-look Networking feature
enables customers to streamline their communications infrastructure by
seamlessly integrating multiple locations into one network.”

With One-look Networking, a single IP Business Telecommunications Server
can support up to sixteen locations and be managed via a web-based
maintenance console. Additionally, One-look Networking businesses can
count on a highly reliable system with low failure rates. In the
unlikely event of a problem with the KX-NS1000 server, the system will
temporarily failover to a backup master site and continue communications
services without interruption.

Pricing and Availability

The KX-NS1000 comes with a 2-year warranty and is available immediately
through authorized resellers at an MSRP of $8500 for a standard 30 user
configuration. The KX-DT500 and KX-NT550 series are available
immediately starting at an MSRP of $200 and $299, respectively. For more

Machine learning has taken residence at our cities' cores and now we can finally have "smart cities." Cities are a collection of buildings made to provide the structure and safety necessary for people to function, create and survive. Buildings are a pool of ever-changing performance data from large automated systems such as heating and cooling to the people that live and work within them. Through machine learning, buildings can optimize performance, reduce costs, and improve occupant comfort by ...

Containers and Kubernetes allow for code portability across on-premise VMs, bare metal, or multiple cloud provider environments. Yet, despite this portability promise, developers may include configuration and application definitions that constrain or even eliminate application portability. In this session we'll describe best practices for "configuration as code" in a Kubernetes environment. We will demonstrate how a properly constructed containerized app can be deployed to both Amazon and Azure ...

This is going to be a live demo on a production ready CICD pipeline which automate the deployment of application onto AWS ECS and Fargate.
The same pipeline will automate deployment into various environment such as Test, UAT, and Prod. The pipeline will go through various stages such as source, build, test, approval, UAT stage, Prod stage.
The demo will utilize only AWS services including AWS CodeCommit, Codebuild, code pipeline, Elastic container service (ECS), ECR, and Fargate.

Today, we have more data to manage than ever. We also have better algorithms that help us access our data faster. Cloud is the driving force behind many of the data warehouse advancements we have enjoyed in recent years. But what are the best practices for storing data in the cloud for machine learning and data science applications?

As Enterprise business moves from Monoliths to Microservices, adoption and successful implementations of Microservices become more evident. The goal of Microservices is to improve software delivery speed and increase system safety as scale increases. Documenting hurdles and problems for the use of Microservices will help consultants, architects and specialists to avoid repeating the same mistakes and learn how and when to use (or not use) Microservices at the enterprise level. The circumstance w...

"Avere Systems deals with data performance optimization in the cloud or on-premise. Even to this day many organizations struggle with what we call the problem of data gravity - 'Where should I put the data?' - because the data dictates ultimately where the jobs are going to run," explained Scott Jeschonek, Director Cloud Solutions at Avere Systems, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 21st Cloud Expo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

If a machine can invent, does this mean the end of the patent system as we know it? The patent system, both in the US and Europe, allows companies to protect their inventions and helps foster innovation. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be set to disrupt the patent system as we know it. This talk will examine how AI may change the patent landscape in the years to come. Furthermore, ways in which companies can best protect their AI related inventions will be examined from both a US and...

Buildings are a pool of ever-changing performance data from large automated systems such as heating and cooling to the people that live and work within them. Through machine learning, buildings can optimize performance, reduce costs, and improve occupant comfort by sharing information within the building and with outside city infrastructure via real time shared cloud capabilities.
